[krbdev.mit.edu #7410] win7 PATH sysvar [kfw-3.2.2 installer]

[MichaÅ Mulawa via RT]

Hi,
Maybe I should have used the msi installer, because I was using the exe 
installer:
> Installer kfw-3-2-2.exe 
> <http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/kfw/3.2/kfw-3.2.2/kfw-3-2-2.exe>, 
> 6425k. 
Thanks for the reply.
regards,
